Abbas Araghchi holds regional talks amid Iran-US conflict tensions

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held phone calls with Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to discuss regional developments while visiting Beijing. These discussions occurred amid a stalemate in negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he hopes for a near end to the war with Iran, claiming that Tehran is eager to reach an agreement. Trump noted that the U.S. has imposed an unprecedented blockade on Iran and asserted that Iran's naval capabilities have been significantly damaged. He also emphasized that the United States will not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons.

Reports indicate that Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders or foreign ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)—including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman—on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week. The meeting is expected to focus on post-war strategic planning and the implications of the conflict on regional stability and energy markets.
